TIEZA Partners with GCash to Digitise Travel Tax Refunds

2025/12/15 10:54

The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) has partnered with G-Xchange, Inc. (GXI), the operator of GCash, to expedite travel tax refunds for Filipino travellers.

Formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on 9 December 2025 in Makati City, the agreement enables TIEZA to use GCash’s Funds Disbursement Service.

This system allows approved refunds to be credited directly to passengers’ digital wallets in real time, at no cost to either the agency or the traveller.

The initiative supports Executive Order No. 170, which mandates the adoption of digital payments in government, and the Tourism Act of 2009, which authorises TIEZA to modernise tax collection systems.

The new process eliminates the need for on-site claims and manual bank processing.

TIEZA Chief Operating Officer Mark Lapid stated that the partnership aims to enhance the efficiency of the travel experience.

GCash Vice President Cleo Celeste C. Santos highlighted that digitising traveller touchpoints through real-time refunds offers significant convenience and reliability, ultimately fostering a more responsive government service ecosystem.

GXI will provide the digital infrastructure for the disbursements, supported by prefunding and reconciliation mechanisms to ensure security.

Altcoin Rotation is Gradually Coming to an End

The post Altcoin Rotation is Gradually Coming to an End appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points Ethereum withdrawal activity drops, showing weaker dominance in driving overall market volumes. Bitcoin futures dominance steadies, hinting at a shift back from altcoin momentum. Crypto market RSI hits oversold zone, suggesting scope for a possible relief rebound. The latest data shows Ethereum’s influence in the market is fading as withdrawal activity drops to multi-year lows.

The sharp drop in altcoin momentum marks a potential turning point where consolidation may shift back into Bitcoin. Market Pressure Builds Despite Oversold Conditions Altcoin trading volumes climbed to nearly 40–45% of the total, but the trend now shows signs of stabilizing. The plateau suggests the extended rotation cycle is peaking, confirming that capital flows into altcoins may be losing intensity. Meanwhile, the broader crypto market has weakened, with total capitalization slipping to $3.89 trillion after a 3.82% decline.
